  • Next
  • Previous
The Patriots made history this season, winning their first 18 games before being upset by the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII. New England pulled off the first perfect 16-game regular season in NFL history but fell just shy of matching the standard set by the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins. We take a look back at each of their 18 victories and the final crushing defeat.
